L3130 Front Tire Pressure

[North GA]

The dealer delivered my L3130 Dt with LA723 QA FEL and R4 tires yesterday. I checked the tire pressure. It had 35 PSI in the front tires and 20 PSI in the rear tires. The tractor and loader owners manual calls for 20 PSI front and rear. Should I follow the owners manual or what was in the front tires when unit was delivered? Front tire is 6 ply rated with a max inflation of 45 PSI. What PSI do you run in your unit?

You should always air your tires according to how you are using them… Heavy loads get highest ‘rated’ pressures…KennyV.

I'd keep the higher pressure in them in they were mine. I keep the R1s on the front of my L3710 higher than the manual states and still broke the bead loose trying to unload a bundle of 1/2" rebar. I was probably exceeding design specs just a little on that one so I can't complain.
